I'm not sure why this would be the case. They're just using google cloud services (computing, storage, and apparently tensor flow). You use tons of other services right now which are built on the same back end. It would be no different for you and me (end users I mean) if they had chosen Amazon.

That is per se correct.

I'm careful what services I use, sometimes I prefer local p2p such as bittorrent sync over uncontrollable clouds for personal data.

I'm mostly concerned about what they will use the deep-learning thing for though. Not sure I'll want it to work with my notes.
